1.

Among the following, the species with tetrahedral geometry ?

Answer»

`[Pd(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`
`[NI(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`
`[PdCl_(4)]^(2-)`
`[NiCl_(4)]^(2-)`

Solution :
AS `Cl^(-)` is a weak field ligand, no regrouping of electrons occurs. Hence Ni(II) UNDERGOES `sp^(3)` hybridisation, and acquires tetrahedral geometry.
